Polish police break up chained anti-Kaczynski protesters

Police in Warsaw on Saturday dragged away hundreds of protesters hoping to block a monthly rally by the head of Poland’s rightwing ruling party to commemorate the 2010 plane crash in Russia that killed his brother. Several civic groups had called the demonstration, with participants chaining themselves together in a bid to halt the march organised by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, head of the Law and Justice (PiS) party. Police broke the chains with scissors before forcibly removing the protesters.
